Iished.
A very well attended meeting of the
Rock Island county prohibition commit
tee was held in the parlors of the Rock
Island house Thursday afternoon. Mr..
Williams. of Moline, presided, and Mr..
Adams. of Port Byron, was secretary.
Reports were received from the different
townships in the county, showing in the
minds of the speakers a marked growth
in prohibition sentiment, it being the
idea of several that many in the county
who were not oetspoken in their views,
or open advocates of the. cause, were
solid for it. These reports aroused a
great deal of enthusiasm among the del
egates, and it was decided to lmmedi.
ately establish fund for campaign work
aud enter actively into the politics of the
country, whether in county, state or ma
tional election in the future. The fund
was started with $500, and an effort will
be 10 ade to increase it a great deal before
the first cold water campaign is fought.
In the future the strongest prohibition
tickets will be placed in the field, and no
effort spared on the part of the advocates
of Iowa's law to bring it before the PEG,
pie of Illinois.
Working committees were established
in every township in the county and
| authorized to canvass their respective dis
tricts and do all possible for the cause
of st. John, prohibition and cold water
1t wis decided more particularly to entel
into the next presidential campaign ant
to roll up such vote for the nationa
standard bearer of the party ON that occa
sion that will bring Rock Island county
into prominence as the banner prohibition
county of the state.
After general discussion of the situa
ton all over the city. the committee ad.
journed. There was an attendance O.
about twenty delegates and some of tn,
most prominent representatives of thu
cause in the county.

cal, made from that plant by the Mexicans,
found its way in days gone by when populn-

some three days before it has reached its
highest point OF fermentation not a single
piece of food is swallowed.
At the end Of that period they fill them
selves to their utmost capacity with the un-
clarified tiz win. Although half starved, it
takes but a few moments to make them feel
as il they had q major generals rations for

when sober, decided to go upon the warpath,
by far the most important preliminary is the
manufacture of huge quantities of tiz win.
Its peculiar composition, and the no less pc
culiar manner of taking tho liquor, gives it a
most lasting effect upon the system, and an
Indian with his stomach distended with it is
said to have ahead of him a six or eight days
